Floyd Mayweather reveals the greatest fighter he ever shared the ring with

While Floyd Mayweather has gone head-to-head with some of the greatest boxers of all time, one man stands out from the pack.

Renowned for his impeccable defense and unrivaled boxing IQ, ‘Money’ sealed his legacy beyond doubt.

While on 50 occasions, various legends attempted to relieve him of his undefeated record, none of them officially managed to do so.

However, while the American emerged victorious against everyone he faced in the professional ranks, that doesn’t mean he isn’t willing to give some credit to one of his biggest rivals.

Floyd Mayweather says Manny Pacquiao was the best fighter he ever boxed

While Floyd Mayweather had some really close fights in his career, he’s adamant that Manny Pacquiao was his most formidable foe.

After years of back-and-forth, the pair finally met in an eagerly-anticipated bout, on May 2, 2015, inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

While the world had wanted the two men to trade leather for so long, when the match-up finally came to fruition, it failed to deliver, with the numbers suggesting that Mayweather had an easy time with Pacquiao.

Regardless, the highest-paid boxer in history still believes that his Filipino foe is better than anyone else he went toe-to-toe with inside the squared-circle.

The 47-year-old told Millionz Dollars worth of Game: “Pacquiao [is the best I’ve faced]. It’s because of his movement. He’s a great fighter, and I can see why he won so many fights, and I can see why he’s going down as a Hall of Famer. It’s just certain moves he makes.”

Boxing legend who punched Floyd Mayweather and knocked out his tooth, still wears it as a necklace

While Pacquiao may have the best resume of anyone Mayweather ever faced, he certainly didn’t give him his hardest challenge.

Over the years, the likes of Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya pushed him very close, with some even believing that José Luis Castillo beat him in their first encounter.

However, there’s only one man who can really claim the bragging rights over the icon, with a warrior who seemingly knocked Mayweather’s tooth out, now wearing it as a necklace.
